Parents you should also have a list of questions for the recruiter/coach as well as your student-athlete
For Example:
Coach tell me about yourself and your experience?
Coach what are your expectations for incoming student-athletes?
My expectations for you Coach are ____…

I like how you gave your expectations for the coach. It’s a 2 way street. Is the scholarship fixed or can it ⬆️ after yr 1?Some do not increase.

We did this as well!! Kids need to realize they are recruiting a New Coach...they move from Jr to HS and got me...no choice... now they HAVE Choices...use the opportunity wisely!

also. a good question to ask is- who is directly responsible for my athletes/child s workouts. Just because the Head coach or recruiter is recruiting- don’t assume the training will be coming from that Head coach or recruiter. Some of my athletes learned this the hard way.

Great question this is assumed a lot and the athlete and parent should know who will be their individual Coach….and if the athlete is a sprinter he or she need to speak with and meet the Sprint Coach as well….awesome info thank you

Good point, it's important for parents to not only ask about the coach's expectations, but also share their own expectations for their student-athlete.
